After seeing limited action in 2021, R-Sophomore DB Kenyatta Watson II will not only look to fill the shoes of now-departed cornerbacks Tobias Oliver and Tre Swilling, but he will also be a vital member of a secondary that needs to show improvement. It’s no secret that Georgia Tech’s pass defense last season struggled to keep Tech in games. In case you needed a reminder, the Jackets finished 2021 with the 207th-ranked pass defense (273 YPG). Watson II will have to undergo another coaching change as the Texas transfer is only in his second year on the Flats, but his athletic ability and maturity (even though he’s listed as a R-Sophomore) should help here.
